American Truck Simulator is 75% off on Steam until 24 November at 18:00 CET: €4.99 instead of €19.99, with no fees on top. For once, the official store beats every Steam Key we track, so this week the cheapest way to get it is to buy it on Steam itself.
Steam against the resellers
The cheapest Steam Key this morning is at Gamivo, €5.82 (€7.01 with fees) with the coupon GCDKGamivo. YUPLAY has it at €7.50 (no fees), and Kinguin at €6.89 (€7.79 with fees) with NOVGOC10. Steam is about two euros cheaper than the best of them.
It's also a good price by the key's own standards. The Steam Key usually sells for around €5.64 (median, before fees), so €4.99 is below the normal level. It has been lower: the minimum we recorded is €2.39 before fees, at the end of October. That was a short dip, though, and you can't count on it coming back.
Two cheaper offers aren't keys. Gamivo sells a Steam Gift at €2.82 (€3.67 with fees) with GCDKGamivo: instead of a code you get a gift that you accept on your own Steam account. Driffle has a Steam Account at €2.25 (€2.73 with fees) with GOCDKEYS10, which means logging into someone else's account; the game is never in your name. We wouldn't pick the account over a €4.99 copy on Steam.
Route 66, update 1.62 and what's coming
SCS has been busy. On 11 November, the day Route 66 turned 100, it released the Route 66 Paint Jobs Pack for €1.99. The money goes to the American Truck Simulator Grant Program run by the Route 66 Road Ahead Partnership, which funds businesses and events along the road. The whole route from Chicago to Los Angeles has been in the game since the Illinois DLC came out in May, but you need the map DLC for every state it crosses to drive all of it.
Update 1.62, free, arrived on 3 November with new Tourist Boards in several states and one for Route 66 through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. The special postcard at the end requires all of those maps. SCS is also teasing the British Columbia DLC and Road Trip: RAM & Dodge, neither with a date yet. Steam users rate the game Overwhelmingly Positive, 97% of 168,200 reviews.
Editions on sale and the Gold Edition
The bigger bundles are discounted on Steam too: Essentials Edition €16.18 (−58%), Premium €21.18 (−56%), Deluxe €36.97 (−54%), Ultimate €48.47 (−53%) and the Route 66 Bundle €37.16 (−47%). Check on Steam what each one contains before choosing. The Gold Edition starts at €26.66 (€28.58 with fees) as a Steam Key at Gamivo with GCDKGamivo.
After 24 November
Once the sale ends Steam goes back to €19.99, and the American Truck Simulator Steam Key becomes the cheap route again at around €7. If you miss the deadline, set a price alert and we'll email you when the key drops. If you drive in Europe as well, we covered the Iceland DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 earlier this week.
